Things have gone quite on the patch – Dhahran Hills

The last week has produced very few birds of note with almost no migrants seen. The only birds of note have been a couple of European Turtle Doves, a species that breeds locally and a male Little Bittern catching food on the percolation pond. A large group of Barn Swallows were seen one night feeding around the main pond with two Common Swifts associating with them but few other birds. I was sent a photo of a Black Kite that a resident of the camp had taken in his garden in the main camp which is a good bird for here, but unfortunately I did not see the bird.

About The Blog

I hope you enjoy browsing my latest images & notes from the field, the majority are from Dhahran (eastern Saudi Arabia) as well as bird ringing in Bahrain. Most of the photographs are of birds but I will also include other interesting natural history shots when I take them.

About The Photographs

I am an amateur photographer who goes birdwatching and takes the occasional picture with birdwatching being my primary interest. I do birdwatch in an area that has good light for photogrpahy and manage to take quite a few photographs each day.
